What is Rheumatology?

Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the joints, muscles, and bones. These conditions, known as rheumatic diseases, include disorders such as arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and vasculitis, which often involve autoimmune and inflammatory processes. Rheumatologists specialize in managing both acute and chronic conditions that can cause pain, stiffness, and damage to connective tissues, impacting overall mobility and quality of life.
